        abstract:  This data set is consisting of a classified LiDAR Point Cloud encompassing the Colville National Forest project area, approximately 742 square miles. Each LAS/LAZ file contains LiDAR point information, which has been calibrated, controlled, and classified. Ground Conditions: water at normal levels; no unusual inundation; no snow; leaf off How the Withheld Points are Identified: Withheld (ignore) points were identified in the files using the standard LAS Withheld bit. Class Code:1 Class Item:Undetermined/Unclassified Class Code:2 Class Item:Bare Earth This data set is an LAZ (compressed LAS) format file containing LIDAR point cloud data.
        purpose:  The United States Forest Service (USFS, Government), Colville National Forest (CNF), requested airborne LiDAR services and products for several project areas totalling 742 mi2 throughout the Colville National Forest in NE Washington. The primary goals of this project included providing high accuracy and density (8pls/m2) LiDAR to enhance project planning and implementation, and to provide engineering and timber sale preparation specialists more information for on-the-ground project planning. In addition, these data are used by researchers and scientists to characterize vegetation type and structure as it currently exists on the landscape and to provide a detailed, accurate, and precise benchmark for future change detection work. The data products potentially will also be used for vegetation mapping, hydrologic feature delineation, and landcover characterization applications including a canopy height model, understory vegetation prediction, and other stand metrics.

            nameOfMeasure:  Horizontal Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Horizontal error in lidar derived elevation data is largely a function of positional error as derived from the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), attitude (angular orientation) error (as derived from the INS) and flying altitude; and can be estimated based on these parameters. Quantitative value: 14.4 cm, Test that produced the valued: As described in Section 7.5 of the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data the horizontal errors in lidar data are largely a function of GNSS positional error, INS angular error, and flying altitude. Therefore lidar data collected with GNSS error of 0.05m and the IMU error of 0.03492 degrees at an altitude of 2926m; the expected radial horizontal positional error will be RMSEr = 14.4cm.

            nameOfMeasure:  Vertical Positional Accuracy
            evaluationMethodDescription:  Vertical Accuracy of the point cloud and bare-earth lidar data was assessed and reported in accordance with the ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data; One-Hundered and sixteen (116) surveyed points were measured for the purpose of assessing the accuracy of the Colville NF Lidar data. (60 NVA + 56 VVA)Quantitative value: 15.8 cm, Test that produced the value: This data set was produced to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10.0(cm) RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class equating to NVA = +/-19.6cm at 95% confidence level and VVA =+/-29.4cm at the 95th percentile. This data set was tested to meet ASPRS Positional Accuracy Standards for Digital Geospatial Data (2014) for a 10.0(cm) RMSEz Vertical Accuracy Class. Actual NVA accuracy of the point cloud was found to be RMSEz = 4.1cm, equating to +/-8.1cm at 95% confidence level. Actual NVA accuracy of the bare-earth was found to be RMSEz = 4.1cm, equating to +/-8.0cm at 95% confidence level. Actual VVA accuracy was found to be +/-14.3cm at the 95th percentile.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  The raw LAS data files included all data points collected. No points have been removed or excluded. A visual qualitative assessment was performed to ensure data completeness. No void areas or missing data exist. The raw point cloud is of good quality and data passes Fundamental Vertical Accuracy specifications.Void areas (i.e., areas outside the project boundary but within the tiling scheme) are coded using a unique “NODATA” value. This value is identified in the appropriate location within the file header.

            evaluationMethodDescription:  All LiDAR data and LiDAR Derived data covers the entire 742 square mile area. All LiDAR Point Cloud tiles show no edge artifacts or mismatches from tile to tile. Void areas (i.e. areas outside the project boundary but within the tiling scheme) are coded using a unique “NODATA” value. This value is identified in the appropriate location within the file header. Data cover the entire area specified for this project.

                description:  Aerial LiDAR Acquisition: Aerial LiDAR was acquired, in sixteen (16) missions, using an ALS070HP SN7225 at an altitude of 2926 MSL to support a 8ppm^2 LiDAR point cloud. Airborne GPS and IMU data was collected during the acquisition and supported by LEICA SR530 GPS stations on NGS monuments K24, G483, and Z264. Data acquisition was completed between 8th of July through 25th of July 2015. Ground Control Survey: A survey was performed to support the acquisition of LiDAR collection. Ground GPS collection consists of collection NVA and VVA points for LiDAR validation in addition to control point GPS collection for flight support. All field survey observations were conducted between July 5, 2015 through July 25, 2015 using Leica SR530 and Topcon HiperV Dual Frequency GPS equipment, both configured to log data at 1 Hz, and at 10 degrees mask.

                description:  LiDAR Pre-processing: Airborne GPS and IMU data were merged to develop a Smoothed Best Estimate Trajectory (SBET) of the LiDAR system trajectory for each lift. LiDAR ranging data were initially calibrated using previous best parameters for this instrument and aircraft. Relative calibration was evaluated using advanced plane-matching analysis and parameter corrections derived. This process was repeated interactively until residual errors between overlapping swaths, across all project lifts, was reduced to 2 cm or less. Data were then block adjusted to match surveyed calibration control. Raw data NVA were checked using independently surveyed check points. Swath overage points were identified and tagged within each swath file

                description:  Initial processing of the GPS data was processed using Inertial Explorer. The solution file was generated and CloudPro software was used to generate georeferenced laser returns which were then processed in strip form allowing for the QC of the overlap between strips (lines). The data from each line were combined and automated classification routines run to determine the initial surface model. This initial surface model was then verified to the surveyed test points.

                description:  LiDAR Post-Processing: The calibrated and controlled LiDAR swaths were processed using automatic point classification routines in TerraSolid software. These routines operate against the entire collection (all swaths, all lifts), eliminating character differences between files. Data were then distributed as virtual tiles to experienced LiDAR analysts for localized automatic classification, manual editing, and peer-based QC checks. Supervisory QC monitoring of work in progress and completed editing ensured consistency of classification character and adherence to project requirements across the entire project. All classification tags are stored in the original swath files. After completion of classification and final QC approval, the NVA and VVA for the project are calculated. Sample areas for each land cover type present in the project were extracted and forwarded to the client, along with the results of the accuracy tests. Upon acceptance, the complete classified LiDAR swath files were delivered to the client.

                description:  Classified point cloud data was received from USFS in LAZ format. The projection was the USFS region 6 Albers (EPSG code 9674) in meters on NAD83(2011) datum. Vertically the data was in meters NAVD88 with Geoid12A. The data was converted to geographic coordinates and the geoid model was removed, effectively reverting the data to EPSG 6319, for ingest in the Digital Coast Data Access Viewer.

                description:   The vertical values in this data set have been converted to reference North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (NAVD88) (GEOID18) meters, using the GEOID18 grids provided by the National Geodetic Survey. Any datum and projection transformations were then done with the Office for Coastal Management 'datum_shift' program. Compression to an LAZ file was done with the LAStools 'laszip' program and can be unzipped with the same free program (https://rapidlasso.de/laszip/) Processing notes:
